    Dasaprakash

    Highly recommended by locals for consistently good South Indian veg food, Dasaprakash whips up spectacular thalis (with bottomless refills), dosa, and a few token continental dishes. The dessert sundaes are tempting but pricey (from Rs90). Comfortable booth seating and wood-lattice screens make for intimate dining.

    Rams

    In a new, larger location, Rams continues to serve good South Indian food, including vegetarian thalis('all-you-can-eat' meals consisting of rice with vegetable curries and pappadams) and a variety of dosas (paper-thin rice- and lentil-flour pancakes) in a wonderfully colourful setting featuring Hindu devotional art.

    Lakshmi Vilas

    This no-nonsense, plainly decorated restaurant is the place in Agra to come for affordable South Indian fare. Treats include idli (spongy, round, fermented rice cake), vada (doughnut-shaped, deep-fried lentil savoury), uttapam (thick, savoury rice pancake) and more than 20 varieties of dosa (large savoury crepe, Rs46 to Rs250), including a family special that is 1.2m long!

  7. Vinayaka Mylari

    Locals line up for the dosas (paper-thin, lentil-flour pancakes) and soft Mysore-style idlis (rice dumplings) served with delicious coconut chutney at this decades-old operation. A masala dosa and coffee make a great breakfast or lunch.

    Mavalli Tiffin Rooms

    This legendary joint, commonly called MTR, has been feeding Bengaluru its stock South Indian fare such as masala dosas for more than seven decades. The queues can get long during lunch hours.

  9. Mango Tree

    Creativity blends with culinary excellence at this rural-themed chill-out joint, spread out under the eponymous mango tree by the riverbanks. The walk out here is through a banana plantation, and the food is delicious – the restaurant does lip-smacking dosas for breakfast and dinner. The ambience is simply overwhelming, and the terraced seating perfect for whiling away a lazy afternoon, book in hand.

    Saravana Bhavan

    Massively popular, Tamil Saravana has a fast-food feel, but food is by no means junk: dosas, idlis and other southern specialities, accompanied by lovely fresh chutneys. Inventive sweets include cucumber-seed ladoos (sweet balls). Finish with a South Indian coffee. Arrive early or queue!
